This science resource is designed for young children to explore and understand the concept of sound through visual activities. The resource includes 3 pages, each featuring 6 colour cards that children can cut out and sort into categories based on the sound’s volume. The cards depict various sounds, helping children distinguish between “loud” and “soft” sounds. Examples include cards with images of loud sounds such as yelling people and a washing machine, alongside soft sounds like someone asleep and children whispering. Each page includes a mix of adjectives (e.g., yelling, whispering) and objects (e.g., drill, softball) to help children understand how different sounds can be categorized. In addition to the colour versions, there are black-and-white versions of the same sheets for children to colour in. This allows them to engage more deeply with the activity and reinforces their understanding of the concepts as they add their own colours to the pictures. This resource uses symbols and supports SEND children, EYFS and KS1. Boardmaker licenced.

The resource contains a planning sheet detailing activities, resources and objectives.

Unveil the wonders of autumn to your KS1 children with this resource featuring 10 picture grids! Each grid showcases an autumn-themed image, ranging from an apple and a pumpkin to a playful squirrel. The resource is designed to encourage children to replicate these seasonal illustrations onto a blank grid, square by square, fostering their observational and fine motor skills. A fun way to bring the autumn season into the classroom!

Unleash your children’s love for nature, science, and numeracy with this set of resources for EYFS and KS1. There is a simple lesson plan included together with number cards from 1 to 6. There are 6 pages, each containing a set of resources connected to the natural world such as squirrels, plants,butterflies and snails. Children can cut these cards out and sequence from 1 to 6.

A PPT showing 32 samples of materials. Children can describe what they see and develop their describing vocabulary such as rough, smooth, bumpy, soft etc. They can also discuss what each material might be used for and if it is natural in origin or man made.

Activities for EYFS/KS1 and SEND pupils with a Science theme. There is a colour poster showing symbols connected to staying safe in the sun. Children can discuss these and label them. The same poster is also in black and white for children to colour in and label. Children can fill in sheet 3 with as many ways of staying safe in the sun that they can think of.

I like to add photographs of the objects and or pictures for children to match and talk about.

40 flashcards showing sounds all around us from everyday sounds such as crunching an apple to transport and animal sounds. Very useful for early Sound work in Literacy as well as Science and Music. Cut and laminate and reuse in different ways: e.g. Can children listen to and recognise sounds and then find the matching pictures? Can they distinguish between animal and transport sounds?

A black and white and matching colour poster with a Light and Dark theme. Link to your Science lessons / Physical Processes. Encourage children to closely observe the symbols in the poster and talk about the different lights and any others they can think of. Lights can be sorted e.g. those operated with a battery and those with flames. Page 3 is a writing or drawing template - children draw or write the different lights that they see in the poster. Bring in a safety theme especially around matches and naked flames. Extend with a walk around school - what other lights or light sources can they find? Boardmaker Licenced

A collection of resources for your early years topics on Wind / Air or Science. Activity Ideas Firstly, there is a colour poster to discuss with the children. They find out that Air helps to move things. Stong winds may be needed to help move heavier objects. They can decide if they could create enough wind to move objects like the hand fan or blow into objects like the whistle to make sound, or the bubble wand to make bubbles. There are small cards to cut out which correspond to the poster for children to match or talk about. There is a colouring sheet and 2 kite sheets - one colour and one black and white. Children can copy the colour patterns or make up their own. Practical Ideas Children could experiment with blowing into their hands or blowing feathers on a table to move them. Make bubbles or use ready made ones for outdoor or indoor fun. Make and fly kites. Make paper planes and fly. Blow up balloons and let go. With the inhaler, you could explain how this is used - there may be a child with asthma who could help to explain. Talk about the lungs here and their importance.
